Of course.. you can change your mind anytime! Should you feel you need pain relief at any point in labour, it can and will be offered to you. The pain relief options in labour include nitrous oxide gas, intramuscular opioid injections as well as an epidural. They are all safe and do not result in any significant risk to the baby and mum unlike what is commonly perceived.
